It's been years since you've been able to throw a stone and hit someone with a heart shaped pendant inscribed with "Please Return To..." dangling from a heavy chain around their neck. Now, jewelry that makes a unique statement about your personal style is allowed, and encouraged. As jewelry trends cast a spotlight on eye-catching statement pieces, flawless style is as easy as building an entire look around a single piece and sitting back to let it do the talking.
If you aren't sure how to find that killer piece to start building your signature look around, jewelry designer Ali Oesch has designed a line full of unique pieces that will leave on-lookers with two questions: Who her stylist and is she accepting new clients?
Oesch is based out of South Bend, Indiana (although her jewelry is carried at specialty stores throughout the United States) and describes her creations as "trendy with a bit of Midwestern charm". She works with a variety materials including pearls, gemstones, Swarovski crystals, metals and more, so her collection has that perfect piece for everyone from the fashion risk-taker to the closet style-stalker at a reasonable price point.
She says her pieces are "all meant to be timeless and classic, but contemporary at the same time," which also makes her items the perfect timeless gift that will be wearable by it's ever-so-grateful recipient for more than just a season. Oesch even works with clients who bring pieces back years later and want to re-work them to match their evolving personal style, attention that you won't get from a big-box retailer.
